Zac Thompson and Troy Hewitt went close to scoring in the opening 10 minutes as the visitors looked to bounce back from Saturday’s defeat at Colchester.

And they were ahead when Steven Schumacher scored with a deflected free-kick.

Matt Doherty and Tom Hopper had chances to double the advantage but Bury’s lead was cancelled out seven minutes into the second period when Leon Clarke linked up well with Karl Hawley before finishing neatly.

But just as it appeared momentum had swung the way of the home side, on-loan Leicester frontman Hopper netted within two minutes of the equaliser, tapping home from close range after good work from Hewitt.
